$2 for 10 PCBs - 100% Top Quality - https://jlcpcb.com
The first PCB I've made for many years - which I designed in EasyEDA and which JLCPCB have kindly manufactured for me.
This is a neat layout of my Knight Rider project which uses a 555 timer, 4017 counter/decoder, some resistors and LEDs.
Very pleased to disclose that this video is sponsored by JLCPCB

hi bud with this project l found that there was a lot missing with the diagram to the building of the project what a shame
Do you live in the UK?
How can I order this board
great videos, just started making PCB and waiting for my first order to come in from JLCPCB.
"Thank GOD", and thank you very much for your support and time 😉 I would like a copy of the board in this video, if it's still available 🙄 Let me know 😎🙏🏾😎
The first thing that jumped out at me when I saw those boards was the orientation of the LEDs. That makes it exceedingly difficult to properly bend the leads 90 degrees so that you can have an edge-on orientation. I have here some LM3915 audio level indicator boards that allow this, your design doesn't, or it at least doesn't make it easy.
The other thing that jumped out at me was when you were placing chips in your schematic. The first thing I saw there was that the 555 was laid out according to the pins on the chip being in order, like you'd see it on a board. I absolutely detest that sort of schematic! A chip should have inputs on the left, outputs on the right, Vcc on top, ground on the bottom, etc. THAT is a schematic. What you had there was more of a board layout diagram…
I've seen some magazine articles that follwed this convention, and it sure makes it difficult following the typical rats nest of interconnections so you can understand what's going on.
Could this be done with less resistors?
hi julian wondering if i could get night rider pcb or a link to .or a jlpcb file to make this great project….. ps i made it on bread board it works great love ya work….aussierob
The EasyEDA Website uses Googles Strong Arm Tactic -> Recaptha to log in You either stay logged in to your Google account everywhere you go on the internet or they torment you with Recaptha. Its a strongarm plot Google came up with to make them the Internet Identification Authority. You either stay logged in everywhere you go and let them data mine and spy on everything you do or you deal with the foolish websites that think Recaptha is doing them a favor…
I can only laugh at the people bitching like children to "save mother nature" because you didn't nit pick like a tweaker for hours trying to uselessly fill as much board space as possible.
Awesome PCB buddy! I've never used a 555 before, always used micros, would be fun to go back to the old days and try it!
Wonder if you could run it from a joule thief?
Make the board smaller than 50x50mm and you can get 40 PCBs for $2.
I'd get into the habit of leaving the component IDs on the PCB Julian, makes fault finding much easier on more complex ccts…
I received my first ever boards (with lovely blue solder mask!) from JLCPCB yesterday, took just 6 days from uploading my design to delivery to the UK, really impressed and highly recommended!
Hi Julie, im Andrew Mckenna from Nottingham, just getting into kits, made some mistakes, struggle with smd, especially those 102, and 202. I didn't see when this video was made, but I would be interested in a night rider board please. Add me on Facebook, type 07851235297 my mobile
